iManage announced that its partnership with Microsoft continues to gather momentum with the development of an integration between its iManage AI services and Microsoft Copilot. The new plug-in reinforces the strength of the relationship between iManage and Microsoft and the commitment of both companies to democratizing AI and delivering better business outcomes for customers in Knowledge Work industries. The new iManage and Microsoft Copilot plug-in extends the unique value of both applications by bridging the user?s Microsoft 365 world and the engagement-centric content secured within the iManage Knowledge Work platform.

The integration enables the AI engine to ground the responses in the specific context of the organization?s prior work product while also respecting the security context of the user. The user is empowered to leverage powerful generative AI tools to facilitate stakeholder work and inform decisions quicker and with more confidence. iManage is actively engaged with innovative customers as part of its early adopter program (EAP) which enables customers to validate the business impact and develop a change management strategy.

The iManage cloud platform is built entirely on Microsoft Azure, and is architected to bring the benefits of scale, resilience, performance, and security that come with such an architecture. Additionally, it enables iManage to deliver significantly improved cloud-to-cloud integration with Office 365 including Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Copilot. The cloud-to-cloud integration enables end users to use any of the advanced Office 365 capabilities like co-authoring natively from any Office 365 end point on the desktop, web, or mobile device.

iManage is one of the select partners that supports native integration with Microsoft 365, enabling real-time co-authoring on Office desktop and mobile apps, in addition to Office for the Web. This native co-authoring capability enables users to collaborate on Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents simultaneously through any device, automatically saving all edits to the iManage platform. The iManage partnership with Microsoft also delivers exceptional benefits around productivity-enhancing tools like Microsoft Power Automate.

iManage has expanded the set of Power Automate actions and events to enable clients to automate processes that are administrative, or end user driven with little to no code. Built directly into the iManage platform, all Power Automate actions and results are performed and maintained within the iManage platform. Results from any workflow function or query are maintained with the document in a side panel with other key metadata.
